Skip to content Where Every Galapagos Expedition Brings You Closer to Nature’s Greatest Sanctuary.
The Yacht Isabela II Galapagos is the best choice from Metropolitan Touring for visiting the Galapagos Islands. It can hold up to 40 guests and has a skilled crew that has been working together for many years. Each cruise has one Expedition Leader and three Naturalist Guides, all certified by the Galapagos National Park.
When you board the Yacht Isabela II, you will experience the Galapagos up close. You can choose from four, six, or eight-night trips that visit the Southeastern, Northern, and Western islands. Each route focuses on wildlife and is led by expert guides who keep groups small.
Your days will be busy and exciting. You can hike on lava fields, snorkel with sea lions, kayak, and paddleboard along the volcanic coast, or see the marine life from a glass-bottom boat. Between excursions, you can relax in a hot tub under the sky, read in the library, or enjoy meals at a dining table that feels special. There is also a Medical Officer on board for every trip to ensure your safety and well-being.
Connect and engage with the Galapagos in the most fulfilling way possible through our Expedition Cruise's Park-approved selection of exciting activities: hiking, kayaking, snorkeling, paddleboarding, coastal exploration, and glass-bottom boat rides!
